As a teacher with over 25 years of teaching experience, both in the classroom and at leadership level, I bring both subject expertise and a deep understanding of how children learn best. I offer structured and targeted support to help students reach their full potential.

I specialise in

  • A-level Biology: AQA, Edexcel (A) and (B), OCR , ICAE, IB.

  • GSCE Science and IGCSE

  • 11+ preparation for Grammar Schools

  • preparing for Independent school entrance exams

  • Preparing UCAS statements

Developing revision skills are also a key part of my tutoring. Many students struggle not with knowledge but with how to organise, recall, and apply it effectively under exam conditions. I work with them to develop strategies that make revision more manageable and productive, helping them to feel prepared and in control when it matters most.

My approach is supportive yet focused, with high expectations balanced by patience and encouragement. I believe that learning should not only lead to results but also be an enjoyable and confidence-building journey. By creating a calm, structured environment and using strategies that are personalised to each student, I help learners to feel motivated, capable, and ready to succeed.

We can work online or face to face, depending on your child's needs and your location. If you would like to discuss how I can support your child, please complete the contact form..
